Pinafore is a static site. When you run `yarn build`, static files will be
written to `__sapper__/export`.
In theory you could host these static files yourself (e.g. using nginx or Apache), but
it's not recommended, because:
It is _not_ recommended to directly expose these files when self-hosting. Instead, you should use `node server.js` (e.g. with an
nginx or Apache proxy in front). This adds several things you don't get from the raw static files:
- You'd have to set the [CSP](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) headers yourself,
which are an important security feature.
- Some routes are dynamic and need to be routed to the correct static file.
- [CSP headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) (important for security)
- Certain dynamic routes (less important because of Service Worker managing routing, but certain things could break if Service Workers are disabled in the user's browser)
